I sort of crashed SNAP last Friday. Silly me took too long to decide that I wanted to go or not so I didn’t have a ticket but I joined them at the Queen Bee Market for their girls night out. I had SO much fun meeting a bunch of bloggers, some new to me, some ladies who’s blogs I visit regularly, and some people who’ve become friends that I haven’t ever met in real life. It was a blast.
While I was there I asked a group of gals if and how they back of their blog. I’ve been meaning to figure it out and Vanessa from Our Thrifty Ideas told me it’s super easy. I figured that maybe I wasn’t the only one who didn’t realize how easy it actually is so I thought I’d share with the rest of you who are on blogger and looking to back up your blog.
First go to your dashboard. I’m using the “new view” since it seems like blogger is forcing it on us now but if you’re still using the old look I think everything is called the same thing it just might look a little different. Next select “Settings”. Then click “Other” see at the bottom left.
Once you are in settings you click on “Export blog”
Next all you have to do is click “Download blog” and it will ask you where you want to save it. So easy right? I feel so much better that I don’t have to worry that blogger is going to do something crazy and delete all my posts or that a hacker will figure out how to spam with my account and get me locked out and leave me with my hard work lost. Phew.

Hi, Marissa! I found you from Sew Much Ado! :) Just wanted to let you know that there was an extra step after clicking on “Settings.” I had to click on “Other” to find the export option. Not sure if Blogger updated their interface since you last used it. Anyways, thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been wondering how to back up for the longest time. Look forward to following your posts :D Hope you can come stop by sometime too!
